You have a few issues, one you have already attempted to address.
1. Don't use `include` as it has behavior that cannot be easily reasoned
and understood in many cases
2. A change was made in Ansible 2.8 that is documented in the porting
guide, preventing you from using a static include or `import_tasks` as a
handler itself. This is described in more detail at
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.8.html#imports-as-handlers
Effectively, what you need is to switch to `include_tasks`:
- name: restart prometheus
include_tasks: roles/common/tasks/restart-service.yml
vars:
service_name: prometheus
